That's odd. I see very little in the way of litter along my cycle path/multiple use trail, and a great deal of litter has been witnessed along the roadside. I live in the States, though.

It's not really odd, it's just an attack on a minority group. I often use the road referred to in the letter and the level of cycle traffic is low.
There are no segregated paths in my locality but the road side littering levels are, to my mind, quite appalling. Driving along at 60 or 70 mph can give a wonderful lack of awareness, but cyclists at less than 20mph see it all.
The local council no longer clears verges of litter, funding has been cut.

In common with @postman it seems, I have to start selecting a different age range tick box on application forms from today.
It also means that I can now apply for early retirement from work I may be able to afford to do so in a year or two.

It's the guilt you feel, getting up in the morning and not going to work.

Pork pie, two and then several sneaky slices of toast with marmalade for lunch.

Now doing the drawing for a new painting while watching thirty men playing with a funny shaped ball on the telly.

Not sure what you'd do about it if you did know: try and nail them back on the tree?

I can't reach, for starters...

One of the local schools has announced that we can decide if it is safe for the kids to go or not tomorrow. First time I've known this in Germany.

The Phillip Scholfield thread has been locked, please don't refer to it again

While we've had wind we've also had torrential rain. The field has a very large puddle, next door a smaller one & I've been pumping waer out of a hole dug for that purpose.

I gather the flight from USA to UK was quicker because of it, maybe you should have waited.

Looking at the tree debris today when out walking I think not. Besides my ride would be same time regardless, I’d just do a longer route if wind assisted,

Is it made from balloons and looks like a sausage dog?

I have just eaten the last bit of lindt chocolate reindeer.

Flat roof that I repaired Tuesday is not leaking despite onslaught. Yay...

The rain seems to have moved through here. We now have bright sunshine chez Casa Reynard, but it is still very blowy.

Strangely no kids playing in local square

I've stood my mini greenhouse up and, hopefully, saved most of the pips, cuttings and bulbs that were doing so well.
Some are lost, though 😒
